This might just work. Has this anything to do with the other new beta stuff, and will that be integrated with this somewhere?

Perhaps a translation contact for each language set?

If the folks at Waze want to put their maps--perhaps their most valuable resource--in the hands of people according to their ability to game the system, rather than according to evaluation by other concerned parties, that's their prerogative; but it isn't a formula for success.
Massive +1. It should be based solely on proven ability and by peers in the community who are established, not by any numbers or stats (except the edit requirement).

That's interesting news and probably the only option in so fast growing Waze community. Let's hope that every country will have sufficient number of competent people!

- These criteria do not provide automatic access to the champs' group. Each request to join the group will still be verified individually.
* Under this new reorganization, users with expertise in certain areas can apply to be "Experts".
For example "editing Experts", "Android experts", "iPhone experts", "navigation experts", "beta editor experts", "points experts", "social media experts," will now have moderator permissions over the relevant forums and their coordinators will have direct contact to relevant team members at Waze.
We're open to expanding the range of "Experts" to include any new expertise that you may have in mind.
Experts will be subject to the same entry level as local champs.
Shirli, you'll possibly have to reconsider the
Experts group's entry requirements. I can imagine that otherwise you'll eventually loose loads of excellent, highly experienced "Android experts", "iPhone experts", "points experts", "social media experts" and "whateverelse experts", who drive and test and communicate a lot, but tried to edit only here-and-there and will actually
never neach L4 and be allowed to apply for an Expert (except using the 'individual verification' clause).
(This is actually the same problem as with joint editors' and drivers' Scoreboard: non-editing mega drivers will not able to reach visible ranks anymore.)
